First 30 min promising, the rest just random rubbish

Rating: 3/10 (14 October 2005)

As many other reviews pointed out, the main plot is basically a rehash of concepts and ideas executed much better before in a number of movies. Just to extend this list even more: the initial settings of this movie reminded me a lot of Equillibrium, and the whole idea (fake ecological catastrophe) looked like taken directly from a little known, but excellent, Polish comedy "Seksmisja". But despite all this, the first 30 min were promising: interesting settings, built by showing and asking questions rather than explaining.
But soon all of this is lost, and the screen is just filled with random action, full of clichés, with the events not advancing the plot an inch. Other reviews already pointed out many inconsistencies and illogical behaviour of the main characters. The next two hours is basically: big explosions, special effects for their own sake, bad guys die, good guys survive, and everything is explained to death so as to spare you any thinking. And the ending is just dumb.
A huge disappointment.
